Welcome to Windows 7 Forums. Our forum is dedicated to helping you find support and solutions for any problems regarding your Windows 7 PC be it Dell, HP, Acer, Asus or a custom build. We also provide an extensive Windows 7 tutorial section that covers a wide range of tips and tricks.

The problem apparently does not come from the Windows system itself but from a program that you installed later. And that is an unknown by the repair disk. That happens typically if you have a corrupted .dll that was brought in by a program.

After my initial post, the auto repair routine within the OS ran and suggested a System Restore (which I've done often in XP) and a normal boot followed.

Thanks for the lead on Win7 BSOD problems. I'll look at that material.

The current install is on an older drive which I don't know if there's a bad sector issue. Crystal Disc info gives it a "Caution" and I used HDD Guru Low Level Format Tool to prep the surface for any errors it could handle before the Win7 installation.

My questions may sound primitive but some of us have only moved off of XP.

I take it WinCMD is the exe file to run from the folder. Can this be run from the CD drive?
And why is it not an ISO which would run from the cd drive like a repair disk?

Also another oldish question-- will make new subject if you need it-- about msconfig.

What is used in Win7 for MSCONFIG? A search box try gives only something from 2005 and that does not complete-- says msconfig.ex_ (underscore.)

I have something left over from a program uninstall that keeps popping up at Win7 startup and suspect something in the startup file which remained from the use of Revo Uninstaller. I thought Revo had gotten everything.
